Encaustic Art Supplies

"Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. The liquid/paste is then applied to a surface—usually prepared wood, though canvas and other materials are often used.

We have added microcrystaline wax, carnauba wax flakes and damar resin crystals to our supplies and hope to be adding pigments in the future. The travel tin containers come in various sizes which work great for mixing and storing your encaustic mediums. Check out our new Encaustic Wax Paints from NW Encaustics.
